Scholarships at OCU
Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2012 1:05 am
Hi Tubenet!
It's that time of year again. We will have a number of spots open for next year due to an unusually large graduating class. Congrats guys! I have been told that we have aggressive scholarships available for the right applicants.
Our top graduate quintet position (Blackwelder Brass) includes a full tuition waiver and three built-in church residencies in Oklahoma City. Yes, that means you have a steady paying gig built in to the MM. Our second brass quintet also usually has a very good scholarship with it and includes very similar church residencies.
This summer Blackwelder Brass was invited to perform in the Brass im Frankenwald course and festival at Haus Marteau, Lichtenberg, Germany. This trip included several performances in northern Bavaria. In 2007 they had several performances in Greece. This is an excellent group and is really treated as a professional gigging quintet.
Please come out and have a free lesson. Check out our quintets, wind philharmonic, symphony orchestra, opera pit orchestra, music theater pit orchestra, jazz band, etc... Our ensembles play major lit such as Brucker 6, Berlioz Hungarian March, Bernstein Mass, and Berlioz Requiem, Stravinsky Firebird, Respighi Fountains, Tchaikovsky 4 (all within the last couple years). Also, our facilities are absolutely incredible! You will not be disappointed!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We hope to see you soon!

The Wanda L. Bass School of Music prides itself on fostering a creative environment that encourages exploration and collaboration. Faculty members at Oklahoma City University are active musicians and scholars whose first priority is teaching and mentoring. Performance opportunities abound with more than 250 events staged throughout the academic year, ranging from solo recitals to full-scale choral and orchestral works, and including six opera and music theater productions. Our degree programs stress virtuosic versatility – integrating performance skills, music scholarship, pedagogy, and professionalism – to prepare students for music careers in the 21st century.
Since opening in 2006, the $38.5-million, 113,000-square-foot Bass Music Center addition of the Bass School has hosted artists and educators from around the world, including the International Society of Bassists; the National Association of Teachers of Singing; the Society of Composers, Inc.; and the NEA-sponsored Arts Education Partnership. This world-class facility, built to the highest acoustical standards, features 60 practice rooms, 40 teaching studios, high-tech music labs, ensemble rehearsal rooms and a black box theater.
Few schools have produced so many graduates who excel across the musical spectrum, as performers, educators, and composers. Fewer still have had alumni recognized with Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Awards. Only one institution from that elite company is an all-Steinway school and an Apple Digital Campus that has been honored by ASCAP with its prestigious national orchestral award for adventurous programming of contemporary music. That school is the Wanda L. Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University.
